You can easily burn through a 300GB cap in two weeks.

Consider logging on to your Netflix account and changing your Streaming options to Medium (SD) from Highest (HD / SuperHD) this will give you back about 80% of your bandwidth...

Additional Note: On October 2nd, when Netflix decided to add HTML5 and Silverlight for your streaming methods... they reset everyone's selection back to Highest (HD / SuperHD) in their profiles... If you were already using this option to limit your bandwidth requirements, recheck your account profile to make sure your streaming settings are accurate.

I was having some internet connectivity problem with my earlier ISP, so I changed to other ISP. But the problem was that the other ISP was having only limited data usage plans (with no other ISP available in my area besides these two). So, I tried to find some ways to reduce the data usage so that my limited data plan goes for long time and help in Increasing Browsing speed. Here I am sharing some of the methods which I applied to save data on limited usage Internet plan.
